The Promised Land – A Place of Healing

Last night I had an incredible and extremely vivid lucid dream. In the dream I am in what appears to be a psychiatric ward of a hospital where people come to recover from mental and emotional trauma. I notice the ward is mostly occupied by young men. Most of the attending staff of doctors and nurses are women. I am given a private room for my stay. The layout reminds me of a honey comb. Every room has 6 sides and is adjacent to another room with six sides which is adjacent to another room with six sides and so on and so forth for as far as you can see. The layout strikes me as unusual so I walk through the rooms. There are no corridors. Every room simply leads into another room. Many of the rooms are empty so there are plenty of open rooms available for new arrivals. I see patients playing board games with each other and there is a very good communal atmosphere present.

A nurse approaches me to perform my intake. She encourages me noting the success of the hospital to treat trauma. She tells me if I choose I will never have to suffer again. This all seems so bizarre to me and I suddenly realize I am dreaming. In this now wakeful state I begin to pay very close attention to everything she is telling me about their treatment program. It sounds so appealing and makes perfect sense to me except I’m in a dream and I am lucid so I must investigate my surroundings. I tell her I need some time to run some personal errands before committing to my stay. She tells me there is no problem. I can leave at any time and come back at will but I’m thinking a program this good is sure to fill up quickly. I want to benefit from the program as well as conduct my research into this lucid state in which I find myself. With her assurance that a space is reserved for me, I leave through the door in the courtyard.

Outside I run into my sister Grace who is going to accompany me on my journey. I tell Grace that we are in a lucid dream and to pay close attention to everything she sees and hears and make a mental not of it. I want to find the extent to which the illusion we are in persists. At what point does the illusion of the dream break down?

What I am seeing through my mind’s eye is simply breathtaking. I can see the sky and clouds and the moon and the stars with such clarity and beauty that is simply indescribable. Upon the horizon is a massive thunderstorm approaching. It is dark and ominous yet quite contained to a very specific area in the sky. It is not threatening. It is beautiful in the power and force it holds within it.

I continue to walk and walk till I finally reach the end of the illusion like walking through quicksand nothing else exists except the raw material from which reality is created. I have long left my sister behind and only I stand alone in a thick sticky substance as if I had a sheet draped over me. Feeling I’ve reached my goal and found my end I turn back and soon reencounter my sister who escorts me back to the hospital.

I’m given the same room that I had been assigned before. I’m surprised that they actually held the room for me. They in fact saved my place. I sit in the courtyard looking up at the sky knowing that now I can benefit from all the healing properties of the dream. I also can’t believe that I am fully aware of everything around me. There is nothing out of place. I have examined every detail of this dream, this reality and found every part to be complete in every detail. Every word and sound makes perfect sense. I am in the process of healing my wounded soul.

After thought:

I was very struck by the honey combs. Is this what a sixth dimension reality looks like, feels like? Within a hexagon is found the 6 pointed star or Star of David which is a reference to God. Honey is a reference to love.

“And thy Lord taught the bee to build its cells in hills, on trees and in (men’s) habitations…there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for mankind. Verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought”.

Translation of Quran 16:68–69

Slide Rule of the Dead

I had a dream last night where I am given a slide rule that not only predicts the future but creates the future you wish to have. This slide rule is a prototype for instructional purposes to demonstrate that the concept is feasible. Oddly enough this slide rule is limited to the simple task of giving a shave. It creates a future shave on anyone you choose. I am highly skeptical of its ability. Frankly, I think the idea is absurd but it has my curiosity. I examine it carefully noting the slider and options provided on it for the degree of shave you wish to manifest. By moving the slider, I am able to affect the future. Knowing I’m not one to give myself a shave….I decide to set it to give me a shave at some future date. After moving the slider I place the slide rule down on my night stand and lay back down to sleep.

Moments later after I am supposedly fall back asleep in the dream I begin to feel pressure on the nape of my lower back. This can’t be possible, I’m thinking to myself. Did the device really work? The time is now for a shave. I try to move my arm behind my back to apprehend whatever force is touching my lower back but I am unable to move my arm. I am in sleep paralysis. Struggling to regain consciousness to verify the presence of this supernatural force against my lower back, I finally awaken from the dream but still unable to move completely paralyzed much like a false awakening but I know I am really awake.

There is a woman floating above my bed. She is an oriental woman with beautiful features and well defined ruby red lips. Her hair is pinned up like a china doll. “Who are you,” I ask mentally of her presence. Her presence floats over me in a diagonal direction from my lower right and up toward my right shoulder. Still struggling to regain control of my body my arm finally wakes up and becomes responsive. I move my arm slowly and intentionally in her direction painting a continuous circle with my index finger in the air around her face in a slow and persistent manner to get her attention and let he know I am aware of her presence….once again telepathically asking with stern emphasis, “WHO ARE YOU?” In response to my question she puckers and pinches her lips forward as to point in the direction of my night stand as if it somehow holds the answer to my question. Moments later she disappears.

I then rolled over and went back to sleep. The dream continued….this time the device I am given is a more advanced version with no limits to the possible outcomes of what the device can manipulate. This upgraded version has a tiny video screen where the sliding cursor is located. Impossible I’m thinking to myself as if the last one wasn’t bad enough. Yet a part of me wants to look into its window to see the future. I am very much aware that I am dreaming. I am aware that no harm can come to me by confronting my dream. I am aware of my previous dream and I am emphatically determined to find out where this all leads. I want answers from the depths of the collective consciousness.

Looking into the sliding cursor I can now perceive the future. It is an amazing experience. The beauty and power of this gift suddenly turns gruesome. With its power comes knowledge of darkness. I now see the decade bodies of the dead whose spirits are trapped desperately wanting to communicate but their bodies are no more. These are ancient civilizations forgotten and left to decay in darkness. In shock I woke up with the vivid image of a dead man impressed upon my mind.

I don’t often have nightmares but this one I would certainly classify as such. I don’t know how much of the dream was influenced by my day’s events. I did see a very disturbing movie earlier tonight, Crash High Voltage. It was rated B by Yahoo movies so I considered it a good pick. I was sorely disappointed in the movie. I considered walking out at several points in the movie but since I had gone with a friend I decided to stay. The amount of violence in the movie was very disturbing. I have to ask what kind of society have we become that movies like this receive B ratings.

So who was that woman and what on my night stand was she calling my attention to. On my night stand sits a lamp, my alarm clock, my cell phone, my wallet, my voice recorder for capturing dreams and in the drawer several my personal items including the remote control. At the base of my night stand are several about 5-7 spiritual books.

This one remains a mystery.

Reading River

Last night I had a dream. I am at my house and I look out the front window and notice people gathering. I step outside my front door to and see my neighbor Evelyn standing amongst a group of people. She is giving them the news that she is moving out of the neighborhood after having lived in her house for over 30 years. It is the end of an era.

Upon hearing the news, I begin to cry. I reach over to embrace my neighbor. I am heartbroken. She lovingly hugs me and tells me that everything is going to be ok. She then draws my attention into the distance. In front of my house there lies a river at the bottom of a hillside. Along the bank of the river, I can see my nephew standing with an inflatable raft.

There is something not quite right with the raft and this image. I struggle to get a good look at the raft to figure out what is so unusual about it. I notice that the raft does not have a place in which to sit. It looks more like an inflatable mattress than a survival raft. My nephew is fanning the ground with it causing dust to rise into the air like smoke signals. I’m told he is waiting for his friends to arrive to go into the river with the raft.

My nephew’s behavior strikes me as curious. I stand there puzzled trying to figure this out. I have a vague awareness that I might be dreaming. Nothing makes sense here. As I’m standing there a strange man walks by. I get the feeling the stranger does not belong in my dream. He disappears out of sight.

I then get in my car and drive around the neighborhood trying to be very observant. I drive by old neighborhoods where I used to live. All the housing in this area has been taken over by slumlords. I attempt to read the writing along the streets paying close attention to the words. The words don’t make any sense to me. They are words I do not recognize or much less pronounce. I assume I must be dreaming. At this moment I see the strange man again from before walk by. He quickly gets lost in the heightened confusion but I am determined to make sense of this world.

I continue driving focusing hard on trying to take in all the information from this place. I then notice that my car’s performance is not what it should be. The car is stuck in second gear and it feels like it wants to stall. I want to try to get to a place where I can pull over but I am currently driving through an underpass. I need to make it to the other side. I am looking over all the instrumentation gages in the car to see what might be wrong with it. A small white navigational screen appears in the center console of the car. It is displaying a single word. Initially I do not recognize the word. I can read the letters but not the word.

Aggravated I turn to open the door and get out of the car. The strange man is standing immediately outside my car. Without thinking I reach over and grab him through the window of the car by his neck. I take a firm grip of him and immediately wake up from the dream.

I had literally sat up in bed when I grabbed for the stranger’s neck. As I opened my eyes, I found the man clutched in my fist. I could still see his face in my mind’s eye and before me with my naked physical eyes. It was as if I had two copies of the same man in my head….one in the back of my mind and one out in the physical world in which I live. His ethereal presence faded as I vehemently shook him in my physical world. His expression was one of complete surprise. He was not expecting me to do that.

Because I jerked myself awake when I reached over and grabbed him by the neck I inadvertently hurt my own neck as my sleeping head did not respond as gracefully to the request my body made to attack the man before me. As I sat there in bed it occured to me that I did understand the meaning of the word displayed upon the navigational screen. It’s meaning resonated deep within me with profound truth of which I cannot explain.

3 days later my neck is still hurting from the incident.

My Name is Interpol

Last night, I was visited by a group of extraterrestrials from another dimension. Their lead identified himself as Interpol. He said his name means “communication.” At the time of their visit I was stricken with sleep paralysis and therefore stuck in limbo in between worlds. I could clearly see them standing by my bed partially materialized. They then took me on a journey to their world. There I met a friend whom I refer to as Ben. We walked along their streets and sat in a tiny cabaret. I noticed how everything was so crisp and clean. It was dark out and a moon was hovering closely in the night sky. I felt a bit uncomfortable in their world. We spoke at length about the things we like to do. We both mentioned how we both enjoy a good smoke.

He noticed I was uncomfortable so he asked if there was something I needed. I asked him if we could go outside; out in the open air to walk again. He agreed. Before stepping out in the open there was a display window in the cabaret with various after dinner items. One of the items was a box which had three cigars. I instinctively reached for one of the three cigars. He reached for the second one. I then offered him mine as a gesture of my appreciation. We both smoked off the same cigar.

We then found ourselves in an open pasture that belonged to a nursery for plants. The caretaker gave me a box with a hundred dollar bill in it and a certificate of ownership and deed to the property. He said it was for me. This was my inheritance he said. I was overwhelmed at the gestures. I knew this was everything I ever wanted. I knelt on the ground to see and smell how fertile the soil was. When I kelt I noticed there was a path, a road that lead from my new property to the moon. It was an incredible sight. In disbelief, I stood up and noticed in the sky a red light coming toward us. I knew this was the beacon for the mother ship. I looked squarely into the light waving my arms over my head to flag the ship down.

The entire ship came in closer as it materialized fully in the night sky. I assisted it in landing on my new property. I could clearly see all the details of the ship. I was asked if I could smell their ship as if it smelled bad but I could not smell anything unpleasant. They then came out of the craft to greet me standing beside my bed.

My awareness came full circle again back to the now. My name is Interpol he said it means communication. He then took me on another journey to see the school where I had received my education. There I ran into an old friend named Mary. We reminisced about her wedding where we were in the presence of our mutual friends. I was carrying a backpack at the time with school supplies. I was responsible for assisting with registrations at the school.

My awareness came full circle again back to the now. My name is Interpol he said.

The whole night I could not move. I couldn’t even move to grab my voice recorder so what I did is I kept repeating the details of the dream in my mind so that I would not forget. It also helped that I needed to pee but I couldn’t get up for that either.

The first unusual thing that caught my attention was his name, Interpol. I had never even heard of it until I looked it up in Wikipedia.

INTERPOL is the world’s largest police organization. INTERPOL’s mission is to assist law enforcement agencies in each of its 186 member countries to combat all forms of transnational crime. Its six areas of priority are: drugs and criminal organizations, public safety and terrorism, financial and high tech crimes, trafficking of human beings, corruption, and fugitives.

The second thing was the cigars and the issue of smoking. I don’t smoke cigars or cigarettes. Somehow I equate the smoke with peace, harmony and tranquility.

Cigars are often smoked to celebrate special occasion: the birth of a child, a graduation, a big sale.

The Dragon's Lair; Sinfully Nothing to Fear

This dream was so long it started one night and continued on the next. Both dreams were so amazing and detailed I can only hope to give a glimpse of what happened.. I was also fully lucid in both dreams. I remember reentering the dream half a dozen times or more just because it was so exhilarating to do so. I wanted to experience it again and again and again. With each re-entry the dream changed slightly with my new awareness.

On the first night I am retracing human history and find the Elohim. I somehow know that if I find enough of the pieces where they were left it will be enough to piece it all back together. I fly and soar to heights only dreamed of. My last clue is found in the crystals.

On the next night I reentered the dream again soaring to heights well above the earth. I can see a planet in the distance. This planet is similar to the moon but darker as it does not reflect much light. I allow myself to enter into orbit around the planet. I want to see the life that is on this planet. There are many dark caves yet I can see in the darkness. The caves are protected by many uncircumcised penis like creatures with wings that fly like bats in the night. They scratch and bite at my hands. I can hear them talking. “This is the dragon’s lair.”

By entering I defied the dragon and angered him. I could also hear my own thoughts. I knew they could hear my thoughts. I wanted them to know I wanted them to “Bring it on”. I then said in a slow deliberate thought, “Simply nothing to fear” but for some reason my saliva got my tongue stuck and the word “Sinfully” came out instead of “Simply.” I then felt my own dribble hit my forehead in a wet creamy paste.

Knowing I am the beast and I am the dream, there is nothing for me to fear. I’ve basically forever been afraid of my own shadow. Hell then became a very cold place. My metabolism slowed to a crawl. I heard them say will he be able to make it back. I didn’t care I felt I had already died a million times. If this was the realization of death then so be it. One of them noticed I was wearing a cell phone.
